Demek ki suç, saçma sapan şeyleri beğenen halkta değil, ona başka birşey vermesini bilmeyen yazarlarda. - Miguel de Cervantes

I was ever charitable and good to the poor, and scorn to take the bread out of another man's mouth. On the other side, by our Lady, they shall play me no foul play. I am an old cur at a crust, and can sleep dog-sleep when I list. I can look sharp as well as another, and let me alone to keep the cobwebs out of my eyes. I know where the shoe wrings me. I will know who and who is together. Honesty is the best policy, I will stick to that. The good shall have my hand and heart, but the bad neither foot nor fellowship. And in my mind, the main point of governing, is to make a good beginning.

Ni todos los que se llaman caballeros lo son de todo en todo: que unos son de oro, otros de alquimia, y todos parecen caballeros, pero no todos pueden estar al toque de la piedra de la verdad.

They had best not stir the rice, though it sticks to the pot.
